Happy New Year!! As I reflect back on 2014, I’m happy I was blessed to have another year of amazing travel adventures. In April, I journeyed to the island of Culebra in Puerto Rico. In June, I made my first road trip to Savannah, Georgia and visited the historic First African Baptist Church (one of the first black congregations in North America). In late summer, I trekked to my first Eastern European country – Croatia – and spent my first time on a yacht during The Yacht Week. Also, I finally toured Italy (one of my long desires), seeing all the historical sites of Rome and beautiful panoramic views of the Amalfi Coast. I ended the year enjoying desert mountain vistas and spectacular sunsets in Phoenix, Arizona and Palm Springs, California. It was a wonderful year of fun, good times, and exploration.
Already, 2015 is looking to be another great year. On Christmas I snagged two amazingly cheap airfares on Etihad Airlines, which will allow me to strike off some biggies on my bucket list. In February, I’ll be visiting Dubai with friends (my first foray into Asia and my 5th continent). In March, I’m headed back to South Africa, where I will volunteer for one month (while also taking in the country’s beautiful sights and the Cape Town Jazz Festival). Hopefully, while I’m there I’ll also go white water rafting for the first time. I don’t know yet what the rest of 2015 holds, but I plan to make the best of it. I hope you too have another year of beautiful moments, treasured memories, and all the blessings your heart desires. Cheers!
Where did you go in 2014 and what do you have planned for 2015? Share your comments below.
Sounds like you had a great year! I was all over the place too this year and I plan to be all over the place in 2015 as well 😀
I still have yet to go to Croatia (or Yacht Week), but I hear good things… looking forward to getting there soon!
Hi Chanel, you should definitely add Croatia to your bucket list. It’s a pretty place and the boating culture is divine. Hope you have a great year of travel in 2015. Looking forward to reading your new tales.
What a great year! Enjoyed your Croatia posts! I am so jealous of you getting the Etihad specials especially for the Cape Town Jazz festival! #bucketlist. Like you I enjoyed being back in Italy this year! I also visited Spain and The French Riviera as well as some US cities for the first time like Nashville and a return trip to Savannah. In 2015 I am returning to Dominican Republic where I visited for the first time in December and it was beautiful. I am trying to snag some international deals next year hopefully Dubai and SA also or Brazil, Hong Kong :))
Yes, last year was good one and hopefully this year will be even better. I’m really stoked about the Etihad airfare deals! Now, I’m on the hunt for a Brazil. Those have been hard to come by lately. Hope you have a great travel year.
